New project - XenAdminQt - a cross-platform GNU/Linux, macOS, Windows native thick client

anyway I release most of my personal tools for XCP-ng as open source, so if I ever find a need for anything like rvtools and would start such a project (if nobody else does) I would also publish it as open source.

@Pilow I know them a little bit, I will have a look, but I am now working on another new cool thing! It's called xen_exporter: https://github.com/benapetr/xen_exporter

It's a prometheus exporter that hooks directly to xen kernel via xenctrl library from dom0 and extract all low-level metrics from the host, allowing very detailed graphs with very low granularity with stuff I always missed in both XenOrchestra and XenAdmin:

...

We have a similar project : https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp-metrics, but unfortunately it's not used as of today (though it could get revived as Rust for Xen matures, i.e easier to build).
There is also Xen Orchestra OpenMetrics support but it's not on XCP-ng itself.

Version 0.0.6 released - it mostly fixes many small things, most notable the console is now very stable, there was a bug in VNC protocol that resulted in randomly getting just a black screen, that was fixed + many other small fixes (unable to add more than 16 disks to VM, host pool join logic, pool creation logic, etc)

There is now also experimental support for override of VM transfer network, following same logic as Xen Orchestra has (it checks if xo_migration_network host otherConfig key is set and if yes it follows it). There is also additional setting for it in pool properties.

@benapetr just a small notice, at least in 0.0.5 version. When adding an NFS ISO library SR, there is no choice for NFS version (v3 and v4) like in XCP-ng Center. The XAPI then defaults to v3 which did not work in my environment.

benapetr

@bvitnik good catch, that form had multiple issues, I just fixed all of them - https://github.com/benapetr/XenAdminQt/commit/4847e85f2403f3c6fd328f17754c91df21c36502 this was one of them

benapetr committed to benapetr/XenAdminQt

refactor of new SR wizard

fixed missing NFS version selector
made Test Connection button appear only when we create new SR, not ISO,
because xapi doesn't support probe on ISO objects

implemented drop-in descriptions when nothing is provided

cleaned up some qvariant scraping and invalid creation of XenLib objects
(like Host) instead we retrieve them from the cache now

I haven't found how to set up a physical NIC. you can only edit already configured ones.

benapetr

@Tristis-Oris hello, setup what exactly? you can create bonds from physical NICs, but I don't think original C# client allows anything else either?

Tristis Oris

@benapetr configure dhcp\static mode.

benapetr

@Tristis-Oris that's in management interface configuration, exactly same as in original C# client that had it same

@Tristis-Oris maybe a few comparative screenshots would help
